<< Is the "Spring and Summer Big Book" catalog accessible online? If so, could someone post a link? If not, does Penny's have copies that can be picked up in-store? >>

The catlog isn't online exactly, but the items in it are generally the same as the ones online, but with barely changed catalog numbers (there are exceptions of course, not every item online is in the catalog and vice versa) You CAN order the Spring/Summer Bigbook itself from the website for $5; I'm not sure about picking one up in the store though, I've never tried it. The best bet really is to convert online numbers to the Spring/Summer Bigbook catalog number format.

From an earlier post:Rule of thumb method to convert online numbers to catalog numbers: replace the beginning letter (or letters if there are 2) with A, then drop any trailing letters at the end. Example: RN843-6707D becomes A843-6707.

I emailed JCPenney support (not from my main account of course) asking about the JUST4U promotion and if it's limited to certain groups, locations, etc., and if there's any trick to get it to work. This is the reply I received, so I'm not sure why I can't get it to work for me. If anyone that has gotten it to work has any idea of what they may have done out of the norm to get it to work, please let us know. Thanks!

The order can be placed online using only the JCPenney Big Book Spring/Summer 2003 (key items numbers listed in this catalog, into the "Shop from our Catalogs" field) or you can call us at 1.800.222.6161 to place your order using the Spring/Summer 2003 Big Book.

not sure what the heck happened but I was able to placec my order with the 2 free things and then I got an e-mail just now saying my order shipped. Well they removed the two free items and raised the shipping by a dollar!

They removed both? That's not right, and I'm very surprised. I would follow-up with them, since you have a confirmation that states exactly what you ordered, with prices, taxes, & shipping.

yeah! I was surprised, annoyed, ticked off....lol. I just sent off an e-mail to them..will let yo know what happens.

Update: After some persistance, someone in JCPenney support sent the reply below, confirming that you must use the code on the original post card to use the JUST4U discount, which is baffling -- did any of you who got this to work have to enter or submit a validation code online or via phone? I wish I could figure out why it works for some and not for others.

The message you are getting means that we need to check the validation code for the JUST4U promotion that you received to make sure the information is correct. Please call our customer service department at 1-800-322-1189 so that we can better assist you.

lol..yeah I imagine they must be pretty cheesy. I wish they posted a pic of them. They sure were pricey for being "free" I kinda just wanted to surprise my mom with some extras. What really baffles me is that they raised the shipping.

What is the best code to use on a $78 July 4 sale order consisting of women's clothes? There are too many codes in this thread for me to follow.The items I am trying to order are, by the way, QA841-8081D; QA820-7172D; QA841-4157D; QA826-9207D; QA632-9004D.

Thanks! >>

All the codes are in one place, in the first post of the thread (except for one, but it's just free shipping, so not anything unique.) Most discount codes won't work on outlet items (which all of yours are based on the QA catalog numbers), so I am guessing free shipping is about as good as you are going to get. You can try playing around with the catalog numbers, replacing QA with A or RN or ZW or CN or R, etc., to see if any better prices can be had, but outlet items usually can't be taken any lower. Good luck.

My apologies to everyone for the OP not being kept up to date. I am still unable to edit it and update it because of a technical glitch. Fatwallet support is working to figure out what's wrong, and hopefully I'll soon be able to edit and update the OP like before so that everything is kept in one place and easy to reference. Until then I'll post information in the thread as it comes in.

Awesome! Thanks MyNameIsJill!

FYI for anyone who doesn't have it, the catalog numbers for the Fall Big Book begin with R.

<< has anyone had any luck getting the codes to work on large pieces of furniture (desk, armoire, etc.)? and on what screen do you see the discount applied? thanks. >>

None of the current codes are working on furniture (not for me anyway, and I haven't heard of others getting discounts on these items). I haven't seen a single code valid on furniture since the big one in March.

Here are the basic steps of checking out: first you view your cart, add the code in the promo field, continue, enter your email/password, continue, select shipping address, continue, then you get to the "confirmation" screen (this is where tax and total shipping first show up and the step just BEFORE final submission). THIS screen is where you should see a separate column for Discount Amount if your code is being applied correctly.

The OP is alive and well again! The glitch is fixed that prevented me from updating it. Major kudos to Tim, Dean, Bryan, April, Eamonn and everyone else at Fatwallet that helped bring the OP back to life!
